Ingredients
Scale
Squash
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steak Alfredo Sauce
- 1 lb steak, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the spaghetti squash.
- Prepare Squash: Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds from the center.
- Season Squash: Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the squash and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast Squash: Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
- Cook Steak: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned on all sides.
- Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, then add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Shred Squash: When the squash is roasted and cooled slightly, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands resembling spaghetti.
- Serve: Plate the spaghetti squash strands and top with the steak and creamy Gorgonzola Alfredo sauce. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute steak with chicken or mushrooms for a different variation.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste preference.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the sauce for a few extra minutes to reduce.
- Use fresh Gorgonzola for the best flavor; pre-crumbled packets tend to be less creamy.
- To make this dish gluten free and low carb, ensure no flour or thickeners are added.
